At my wits end

TheRealMom's picture

Step-parent to two girls. I raised them with my husband. The birth mom has been in and out of their lives. She continues to mess with their heads by only being around when its convenient for her. She probably sees her daughters 3 times a year for about 2 to 3 days per visit. My youngest daughter has decided to take out all her frustration out on me. She is very angry and hurtful towards me.

Results from POLL last week or so ago...

OK, there were 2 questions...
At the time of results brought in there were 36 responses. (Thank you all)
I got out of a possible 36 answers? I got 51 answers.

21 chose A
12 chose B
3 Had other questions.
7 made multiple answers.
4 made brand new answers that were not on the poll
4 felt the poll was asking the wrong questions.

NOW to tell you the truth, these results may be lacking in full truth of assembled data.
The man gene kicked in and I think I started to tune out on some of you...;-)

My fdh told me something that touched my heart about fss

As you all know we are going to meet my family this weekend, and I have been having issues with wondering what kind of step mom that I am going to be. I had been thinking about spending a week away to spend time with my family and when I asked fdh about it he said no.. When I asked him why I could not go, he said fss told him that out of all the people in his life that really cared for him the one who loved him the most was not even his real mom.. Talk about tears in my eyes when I heard that.

I have been considering giving a photo card to my stepkids mother even though her and I do not get along. The photo is of my two teenage stepsons, my two year old son, and my 9 month old step-grandson. I am hoping this might give her some sense that we can share the grandchild. She recently became angry w/ my stepdaughter b/c she let me babysit on a day I requested. I refuse to fight over the grandson. I have already spent years dealing with her regarding my three stepkids. What do you think?

An Epidemic?!?!?

I have been reading the Blogs this week and it seems like there are an awful lot of us ready to call it quits lately. It seems like those of us with these feelings all have similar issues. I'm including myself when I refer to these postings because I have found myself feeling like the end of my marriage is near. My husband and I have decided to try marriage counseling and have our first session next week.

for any of you with anger inside you from your life with dh---long, question at bottom

smnikki's picture

not because of dh, but because of all he comes with.

a psycho cunt mother in law. a pathetic lazy fat ex wife that harasses you. family (inlaws) that pretend to be nice to you to get things from you like 500 dollars worth of vip rose parade tickets because i get them every year for free, but expect you to be "the bigger person" and feel bad because bm has a crappy life, and stay friends with her on mysapce and still send her xmas cards.

other inlaws that avoid you like the plague because mil is such a bitch, and no one wants to be held accountable for their actions.

BM is going to Criminal Court

Jenn330's picture

My husband told me 2 yrs ago (I think,sometimes I don't pay attention when he talks-hehe) that BM received stolen property from her brother and pawned the stuff. Apparently the cops were involved and they found out it was her. So all this time has passed and now it caught up to her. So DH (they were never married, I just don't know what to call him in regards to her) got a phone call yesterday saying she wasn't working bc her recent ex told their boss (they work at the same place) she was going to Criminal Court. So now she's suspended until it's over with.

Looking forward to the holiday season!

Wow!!! Praises to the good Lord up above that for a change all is going well in my life. I'm filled with joy beyond joy! ^_^

I had previously failed a very important exam (that unfortunately, I later found out I was missing 3 important chapters needed as a prep for the exam). Fortunately, during my last study prep for my retake, I discovered the missing info & brought it to the attention of my school & passed my exam with flying colors! Yay!!!!
